Hangar Y Hopes To Host The Olympic Cauldron - Meudon

January 13, 2025- Photomontage - 2024 Olympics: Hangar Y in Meudon, near Paris, hopes to host the Olympic cauldron. The site built in Meudon (Hauts-de-Seine) has submitted its bid to permanently house this symbol of the Olympic and Paralympic Games. Hangar Y in Meudon, south-west of Paris, was not necessarily the most obvious choice, but it makes sense. Firstly, because its dimensions are ideal: 28 m high, 40 m wide and 70 m long, the perfect setting for the cauldron. But above all, the Y hangar seemed predestined, having been built at the 1879 Universal Exhibition for experiments on airships. Photo by ABACAPRESS.COM

Hakone Shrine

The former Ichino Torii in Hakone Shrine. The all-night lamp was moved to the present position in front of the new Sanno Torii. Since the steel kettle which was there until 1880 is not seen, the photo is believed to have been taken after 1879. Since no electric cables are seen, it is taken before 1912.==Date:unknown, Place:Hakone, Photo:Ogawa Kazumasa, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number10‐12‐0]

Daibutsu (the Great Buddha) of Kamakura

The photograph was probably taken around the same time as photograph #2748. Kotokuin Temple began to collect donations for the reconstruction of the temple in 1879. However, a change in public opinion caused the plan to be suspended in 1889. It is documented that the donated money was later used to enlarge the temple grounds, to plant trees, and to build rest areas. The Great Buddha is an object of worship and climbing upon it is prohibited today.==Date:unknown, Place:Kamakura, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number90‐28‐0]
